Pasta Fresca

Offering an entire page of handmade pasta selection, this home-style establishment sure fitted the image of an authentic italian restaurant. Unfortunately its popularity wasn't proven when Dad and i stepped into a relatively empty outlet along Upper East Coast.

Full flexibilty is given for the orders. I got to choose the pasta style i preferred, with my requested amendments instantly obliged.


Al Salmone Capellini ($15.50)

It was smoked salmon, chopped onions, white wine, crushed black pepper in tomato sauce. The capellini came partially submerged in a thin watery tomato cancasse- no doubt a generous portion of both- but i felt dissatisfied with the pasta's clumpy lack of al denteness. Wrong choice made, it seriously felt more like having an overpriced mee suah.


Alla Pastora Spaghetti ($14.20)

Perhaps in contrast with mine, Dad's sauce with olive oil, garlic, chilli, bacon and mushrooms was brimming with flavour. So it was about making right decisions.

don't really like my pasta, it was too soft. Perhaps all handmade.
